About Christine
Christine DeHart is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She brings 15 years of experience and meets people with respect and compassion.
Background and approach
Christine aims to create a collaborative space where clients can take practical steps toward feeling more balanced and connected. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can practice between meetings, and honest talk about what’s working and what isn’t. Christine also supports people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem struggles.
Her work includes attention to lifestyle and identity issues, including LGBT concerns and people who identify outside mainstream paths. She has experience with military-related matters and first responder stress.
Christine also addresses caregiver burden, chronic pain and illness, and end-of-life or hospice concerns. Clinical methods she uses include the Gottman Method, attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical skills, applied in straightforward ways during sessions.
Christine brings a client-centered attitude that centers the person’s goals and strengths. She practices in Indiana and holds licenses as an LCSW in Arizona and Indiana.
In addition to psychotherapy work, Christine is a Reiki Master Teacher and integrates holistic perspectives when clients are interested.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Christine often uses the Gottman Method, which focuses on improving communication and managing conflict in relationships through concrete skills and exercises. It can help people who want clearer conversations and fewer repeated arguments.She also draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early connections shape present patterns. That approach helps people understand emotional responses and build more supported ways of relating to others. Christine pairs those perspectives with client-centered listening to make room for each person's priorities and pace.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try approaches, adjust as needed, and focus on practical steps that match the client's life.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversations and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or health constraints.
